Jeff Hill of Rapid Growth Media and Andy Johnston of GR Chamber of Commerce

Jeff Hill of Rapid Growth Media and Andy Johnston of the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce chat with me about the bus trips they've been taking community members on to Detroit, we talk about how the ball got rolling on these trips, they walk me through some of the sites they visited, what Grand Rapids and Detroit learn from each other and what's been implemented, what needs to happen to move beyond the East Side vs. West Side rhetoric, the trips Detroit community members have taken to Grand Rapids, how Grand Rapids and Detroit businesses can better work together, and the upcoming "Detroit: Then/Now/Next" exhibit at the GRAM.
